Especially if I want to have mostly sine and add only a little bit of
saw/pulse, then the slide is too coarse for me on the low level side.

True, the lower end is often a problem with linear controls, even if the
top end is fine and doesn't have a need for full log control.

In more modern gear with microprocessor control allowing for arbitrary
fader curves, it can make sense to use an x^2 law for oscillator mixer
levels. It's kind of in the middle of log and lin in what it offers: gentle
start in the low end, but not a huge gain range and above that almost
linear-feeling in percieved loudness.
